My thoughts exactly. Detroit is just terrible these days and it has spread to all the suburbs as well. It seems like most city and local governments
all have it in some fashion. Even the small town I live in has political corruption.

That may be true but not everyone is taking it laying down. I watched Frontline on PBS last night and saw the segment called The Interrupters. Here
were ex gangbangers intervening in gang and street violence in an attempt to end the violence so endemic to parts of Chicago. One woman, Ameena
Matthews struck me as a genuine hero - an empowered woman who is making a real difference in her community.
